400-Hole Capsule Filling Machine – i Series for labs, nutraceutical brands, and R&D teams that need fast, repeatable manual capsule production. The i Series combines tighter machining tolerances with reinforced plates for smoother alignment and higher yield—ideal when you’ve outgrown basic trays but don’t need a semi-automatic line yet.
Works with standard gelatin or HPMC capsules. Choose your size model (000–5) and start producing consistent batches today.
Key benefits
-
High throughput manual filling: 400 capsules per cycle to accelerate small-batch runs.

FAQs
Which capsule sizes does the 400-hole i Series support?
Choose your plate for sizes 00–1. Each model is size-specific for best alignment and yield.
How many capsules per hour can I produce?
Most teams produce about 3,000–8,000 caps/hr depending on operator pace, powder flow, and workflow.
Is the i Series different from basic 400-hole trays?
Yes. The i Series uses tighter machining tolerances, improved alignment plates, and a stiffer frame to boost precision and repeatability—reducing rejects and rework.
What capsules work best?
Standard gelatin or HPMC capsules (000–5), size-matched to your plate. Avoid oversized or out-of-spec capsules.
How do I clean the plates?
Hand wash with mild soap and rinse thoroughly. Do not use dishwasher or harsh solvents.
When should I upgrade to a semi-automatic machine?
If your demand is consistently above ~3,000 caps/hr or you need tighter weight control, consider the JTJ-V semi-automatic line.
Pro tip: Keep capsule inventory ready—shop empty capsules (gelatin & vegan) that fit this 400-hole filler.
